Colonial Church Service at Historic Old St. Peter's Church
On Sunday, May 24, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, Old St. Peter's Church in Cortlandt Manor will open its doors for a special Colonial Church Service. This event presents a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience a service in a setting steeped in American history. The church, a cherished landmark, was frequented by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War, making it a significant site for both locals and history buffs alike. The service is free and welcomes everyone, providing a wonderful chance for community members to come together in reflection and remembrance. As you enter the church, you’ll be enveloped by its historical charm, which serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during a pivotal time in our nation's past. It’s an occasion not just to worship, but to connect with the rich heritage that surrounds us. Situated at the corner of Oregon Road and Locust Avenue, Old St. Peter's Church is also home to a cemetery that holds the graves of notable Revolutionary War figures, including Brigadier General Seth Pomeroy and John Paulding. Attendees will have the chance to explore this hallowed ground, deepening their understanding of the church's vital role during the war and honoring those who fought for our freedom.
